Try Redhat 7.1 and/or Mandrake 8.0 out first.
Make sure to create a/home partition during install if you just have one machine to use linux on. This will allow you to keep any work / files you have generated when you go to install a different distribution.
Head over to the HOWTO Index and peruse through any HOWTO's that interest you.
Open a terminal, and type 'man man':)
After your comfortable using linux, or on a separate "test" machine try installing Debian 2.2 r3 and/or Slackware 8.0. You will now have some experience using linux and this will give you a chance to check out the more "advanced" distributions.
Seems like there are a million "how to setup linux" guides out there now, but I found this site here, TrinityOS to be very helpful years ago, and it still is.
Oh yeah, here is a great deal from Cheapbytes where I bought my first linux cd.
I think they are going to be keeping the same name, according to the article on yahoo"The new combined company, to be called Corel, "
``This gives us a real end-to-end solution from tools all the way to the suite on Linux and gives us clearly the largest set of Linux technology from any company,''
So has anyone really used the corel dist in a dedicated server environment? (And if so why no just use Debian..) e.g. the "end-to-end" statement, from all that i've seen corel linux is more focused on business desktop users. This merger will certainly help them there, bring them more applications with which to _sell_ and/or package with their distribution.
